235 “I’m Dizzy.” Lu Ze Frowned and Said Weakly.
Lin Suisui didn’t know what the three of them had said after she left. When she returned, Lu Ze was the only one left in the room.
“Pei Qian is going to patrol the border tomorrow morning. Because he borrowed a few family guards who are familiar with the road conditions and environment from Wei Qing, we have to help him take care of Wei Qing during this period of time.”
Seeing Lin Suisui enter, Lu Ze told her what Pei Qian had just told him.
“Alright.” Lin Suisui nodded. She didn’t think too much about this. Instead, she took out a gilded invitation letter and placed it in front of Lu Ze. “Take a look at this.”
“The general’s residence is holding a banquet?” Lu Ze took the invitation from Lin Suisui and opened it. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly as he said, “Gao Xuwei’s mother’s birthday is a good excuse.”
“The invitation was sent over early in the morning, but most of the people who used to be vassals of the northern general’s residence in Cloud Mountain City have been desposed by Pei Qian. What are they planning to do by holding a banquet now?!”
Lin Suisui was always a little slow-witted when it came to conflicts that involved government affairs. Therefore, in order to prevent herself from making a mistake, she habitually discussed it with Lu Ze first.
“Isn’t there a saying that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse?! Although the Gao family has lost a batch of vassals on the surface, there are always people in this world who want to add fuel to the flames!”
Lu Ze had never hidden things like this from Lin Suisui. Sometimes, he even patiently explained the matter to her in detail.
“After all, Pei Qian and Pei Zhaoyue are relatives! The Gao family is holding this banquet to ride on Pei Qian’s coattails to gather power.
If I’m not mistaken, the officials who have just replaced those corrupt officials will most likely be invited.”
On the surface, they were Pei Qian’s subordinates, so it was reasonable for invitations to be sent to them.
“Then are we going or not?” Lin Suisui looked at Lu Ze and tilted her head as she asked for his opinion.
Lu Ze reached out and patted the top of Lin Suisui’s fluffy head as he chuckled. “At that time, Pei Qian will have returned already! We’ll see how Pei Qian arranges it!”
Lin Suisui nodded. Upon hearing Lu Ze’s words, she quickly understood the meaning behind his words.
Since this banquet relied on Pei Qian’s reputation, if Pei Qian was unwilling to accept it, this banquet might get cancelled. It was indeed a little too early to start discussing whether to go or not.
After receiving Lu Ze’s explanation, Lin Suisui didn’t worry about this matter anymore. She put the invitation aside and continued to focus on expelling Lu Ze.
The poison in Lu Ze’s body was complicated to deal with.
Moreover, the toxicity of this poison wasn’t something that could be achieved in a day or two. If she wasn’t mistaken, people had been attempting to assasinate him ever since he was young!
Although the scheme was discovered and stopped, the poison remained in his body until now.
He had probably been thinking of a way to expel the poison, but the effect wasn’t good. That was why he fainted because of the poison later on. After that, the owner of this body was chosen as the crown princess!
Lin Suisui was now using medicine and a medicinal bath for treatment. With the help of golden needles, she forced the remnant poison out of his body bit by bit!
The current medicinal bath was preparation for the first treatment!
Because Lin Suisui had personally supervised him, Lu Ze didn’t resist as much as before. However, after coming out of the medicinal bath, he couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy.
It was rare for Lin Suisui to see him so dejected. Every time, she couldn’t bear to reject his strange requests. For example, asking her to lie with him for a while…
“How about now? Has your headache subsided?!” Lin Suisui lowered her head and helped Lu Ze, who was resting his head on her thigh, massage his temples gently. She said helplessly, “Didn’t I tell you to come out after soaking for a while? Why did you forget again?”
Lu Ze soaked for an hour longer than usual. When he came out, he said that he was dizzyand leaned on Lin Suisui’s shoulder with a pale face. He looked so fragile that he didn’t seem like himself.
For a moment, Lin Suisui really couldn’t bear to blame Lu Ze. She could only patiently coax him. “You previously said that you could do everything yourself and didn’t need anyone to take care of you!”
“I’m dizzy.” Lu Ze frowned and wrapped his arms around Lin Suisui’s waist. It was obvious that he didn’t want her to mention this. “Suisui, don’t go. Let me rest for a while.”
Lin Suisui reached out and pulled the black cloak beside her over Lu Ze. She nodded with a smile and said, “Alright, alright, I won’t leave.”
There was nothing else to do now anyway, so she would just go along with him!
The snow had not stopped for the past few days. Because Lin Suisui had something on, she didn’t think about going out. After a few days, when the weather cleared, an unexpected guest came.
There were four counties in the north, and Cloud Mountain City was the county capital.
However, because the Northern Battlefront Army’s base was also beside Cloud Mountain City, the county governor of Cloud Mountain County seemed quite low-key.
Therefore, when she heard that Bai Guo had come to report that the wife of the Cloud Mountain County’s governor had come to visit, Lin Suisui was stunned.
However, on second thought, since she had already come, she couldn’t avoid her. After thinking for a moment, Lin Suisui instructed Bai Guo to invite her into the pavilion. Lin Suisui would change her clothes and go over in a while.
The county governor’s wife didn’t look that old. She was in her thirties and wasn’t that good-looking, but she looked dignified and kind. She didn’t look mean or pretentious. At first glance, the county governor’s wife seemed very down-to-earth.
This woman also seemed very capable and decisive.
She greeted Lin Suisui politely and sat down before telling her the reason for her trip. “The snowfall has been too heavy these past few days, crushing many poor families’ houses by the city’s edge.
According to previous protocol, the officials in the city should take the lead to help the refugees.
“In the past, this matter was always handled by the wife of the general who stabilizes the north. This year…”
The county governor’s wife paused for a moment before looking up at Lin Suisui with some difficulty and saying, “There have been some changes in Cloud Mountain City this year. The wife of the general who stabilizes the north said that she’s not feeling well. Moreover, she says she can’t take responsibility for this!
I asked around and received confirmation that in the future, if there was anything that required women to stand up for them, it would have to be discussed with you.
This was an order left behind by Mr. Pei when he went out to patrol. Therefore, I rushed over in a hurry to ask you how to arrange this year’s relief.”
